Who are the announcers and referees for Ravens vs. Cowboys today?
By Matt Sidney
The Baltimore Ravens are arguably the most impressive winless team in the NFL. Sitting at 0-2, the Ravens must come away with a win against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, TX.
The Ravens are back on the road in Week 3, where they've had sporadic success so far this season. However, they face a formidable, yet unpredictable Dallas team with an impressive win over the Cleveland Browns and a terrible loss against the New Orleans Saints.
It's been a tale of two teams for the Cowboys and you never know which team will show up. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh needs a strong showing this week to save himself from the proverbial hot seat.
Announcers for Ravens vs. Cowboys
- Network: FOX
- Play-by-play: Kevin Burkhardt
- Color commentary: Tom Brady
- Sideline reporter: Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi
Tom Brady suits up in the booth this week to take on the coverage of the Ravens vs. Cowboys game. It will be the third game Brady has called for FOX - all Cowboys games so far. While Ravens fans might not love Tom Brady being shoved down their throat, Brady has high praise for fellow quarterback Lamar Jackson, ranking him as the third-best QB coming into the season.
On play-by-play duties, the elite Kevin Burkhardt will be on the call. After some initial rough chemistry during Burkhardt and Brady’s first game together, the crew seemed much more comfortable last week during the Cowboys vs. Saints matchup.
Referees for Ravens vs. Cowboys
Ron Torbert Head Referee (Crew Chief)
The head referee for Ravens vs. Cowboys in Week 3 will be Ron Torbert, who's now in his 11th season as a referee after starting as a back and side judge in 2010.
Torbert has refereed 11 Ravens games over the course of his career. Baltimore is 5-6 in those games. He last officiated the Ravens back on January 8, 2023, against the Cincinnati Bengals. He let the men play with only eight accepted penalties occurring.
Tasked with Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers Week 1 game, Torbert's crew tossed 17 flags. They blew the whistle a bit more on the away team: the away team had 10 penalties while the home team had seven. Something to keep an eye out for sure as the Ravens continuously get screwed by the refs (especially on the road).
Here is the rest of the crew that will be calling the game with Torbert:
- Umpire: Barry Anderson
- Down Judge: Frank LeBlanc
- Line Judge: Brian Bolinger
- Field Judge: Ryan Dickson
- Side Judge: Keith Washington
- Back Judge: Tony Josselyn
